ENHANCED LIPID PRODUCTION FROM ALGAE - A method for stimulating enhanced lipid accumulation by algae includes growing algae in a bioreactor medium including nutrients. The algae have an average lipid content that averages a first % of total cell biomass. A stress inducing environmental condition is initiated that keeps the algae alive, stops cell reproduction, and induces the algae to accumulate additional lipids resulting in a second average lipid content that is at least 50% more than the first %. The method can include measuring a lipid concentration of the algae while under the stress inducing environmental condition, harvesting lipids from more than 50% but not all of the algae when the lipid concentration is above a predetermined lipid limit, adding fresh medium to the bioreactor medium having algae not involved in the harvesting therein, and repeating the method, wherein the algae not involved in harvesting serves as a source for new algae growth.

Monitoring asset state to enable partial build - When an up to date state has been achieved for the inputs and outputs of a build process, an asset state indicator is set to indicate that all the inputs and outputs are up to date. Those inputs and outputs are monitored. If a change to any of the inputs and/or outputs is detected, the asset state indicator is updated to indicate that some build execution is needed. When a build request is detected, the current state of the asset state indicator is exposed. An execution sequence for targets of the build process based on dependencies between targets is determined. A starting point for a partial build is determined by determining the earliest-appearing target in the sequence that is affected by the detected changes to the inputs and outputs to the targets of the execution sequence. Executing the build process from this starting point will produce the updated outputs and return the system to the up to date state.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFICATION AND TRACKING OF FOOD ITEMS - A food identification and tracking system includes a plurality of containers adapted to hold food items. An electronically-readable tag is affixed to each of the containers. The data stored on the tags may include information, such as an identification of a food item being held by the container, the ingredients of the food item, and/or the price of the food item, for example. The containers may be distributed by way of a conveyor system offering the food items in the containers for consumption. One or more sensors positioned relative to the conveyor may electronically read the data stored on a tag and cause the identification of the food item in a container to be shown on a display. When the data in each tag includes an indicator of the price of the food item, the cost of all the food item(s) consumed by a consumer may be calculated for payment.
